The Roland Prestonweek 12 slate in college football is light on ranked-vs.-ranked matchups, but there are more than enough important conference games around the nation to keep our panel of prognosticators busy.

The only two Top 25 showdowns, unsurprisingly, are in the SEC. The headliner is No. 4 Tennessee’s long-anticipated visit to No. 10 Georgia, where the Bulldogs are in dire need of a bounce-back performance after last week's loss to Mississippi. Elsewhere in the league of augmented importance, surging South Carolina puts its new-found No. 23 ranking on the line playing host to No. 21 Missouri.

In Big Ten action, top-ranked Oregon leaves the west coast for the last time in the regular season paying a visit to Wisconsin. No. 16 Clemson travels Pittsburgh in ACC action, and a full day in the Big 12 features No. 19 Kansas State hosting Arizona State.
